CMHC: Heating and Hot Water Retrofit

Updated: Mar 10

In the third issue of CMHC's Better Buildings case studies, they take a look at the conversion of a heating and hot water system to natural gas.

Residents of a 36-unit housing cooperative complained about erratic hot water temperatures and suites that were either too hot or too cold. The property manager felt energy costs were too high, and that repairs to the heating and hot water systems were too frequent, and caused major disruptions.
